Any ideas on how to install Mac OSX without a working display? I'm also willing to install another OS.
I am on a Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2012) that previously had no hard drives or RAM installed. It did have a a NVIDIA QUADRO K4200, so I got some empty hard drives and some working mac compatible RAM. Then I created a bootable hard drive of Mac OSX Lion using another MacBook Pro, put it in, and powered on. The Mac gives startup chime, keyboard lights up, and the caps lock key is responding. My problem is this is not a Mac compatible GPU, it is spinning but I certainly will not be getting any boot screens on my display. That's fine, but I do believe it will give regular Mac desktop view as this was a previously working Mac. I also tested the GPU in a windows computer and it is working perfectly.
